Thanks for the well informed response! I had not yet heard of Bayh-Dole and you gave me some good googlin'. In regards to your explanation in [2], that sucks

Thanks for the well informed response! I had not yet heard of Bayh-Dole and you gave me some good googlin'. In regards to your explanation in [2], that sucks - I kinda figured that's how things were but I sorta went around academia rather than through it so it's interesting to hear. Any hot ideas about how it could be fixed?

> Any hot ideas about how it could be fixed? For Computer Science: 1. replace the current academic funding model with pure fellowships. Each individual, from most junior to most senior, gets their own N year funding. 2. Each has a legal entity under which their IP lives and in which the government takes a small, fair, non-voting share. 3. Completely divorce this funding infrastructure from universities -- if someone wants to use part of their grant to pay for PhD courses/advising, great, but make it so that funding science is not contingent on that institutional apparatus. For lab sciences things are more complicated.
